EXHIBIT "A"
Section EV4.0115 Special Landscaped Streets
(a) Introduction
The dominant design element for the East Valley Corridor will consist of unified streetscape
themes to be established throughout the planning area, incorporating consistency of setbacks, street
planting, berining, walls and sidewalks In order to establish this consistency, major arterials within
the planning area have been designated as Special Landscaped Streets, with specific design
guidelines developed for each one.
A key element of the streetscape design, providing a dramatic and recognizable image for the area,
will be a continuation of the existing grid pattern of Washingtonia Robusta palms (Mexican fan
palms), both north and south of Interstate 10 Understory plantings of canopy type street trees,
shrubs and groundcover will provide shade, color and a more human scale to the streetscape. The
landscape design and plant palette for each major street is intended to be consistent throughout the
planning area.
Properties which abut any of the streets listed below must landscape the area adjacent to the
roadway as provided in Sections EV4 0115 (b) through (k) The only improvements which may
encroach into this landscaped area are driveway entrances, sidewalks, planters, fences or walls not
to exceed three and a half (3-1/2) feet in height. Parking areas adjacent to roadways are subject to
the landscape requirements of Section EV4 02S0
Specific design and or plant materials may be modified at the discretion of the approving agency
when there is a conflict with the location of public utilities. Development applications requesting
a deviation from specific design standards or plant materials shall clearly identify what conflict
exists with public utilities, what specific standards apply, and how the conflict will be resolved.
The approving agency may modify adopted design or plant material requirements when a
demonstrated conflict with public utilities exists that cannot be resolved without deviating from
adopted standards.
Special Landscaped Streets within the East Valley Corridor area include the following.
Redlands Boulevard (see Section EV4 0115(b))
San Bernardino Avenue (see Section EV4 0115(c))
Alabama Street (see Section EV4 0115(d)), North of Calvary Circle
